Q: Good afternoon, I would appreciate your comments on our exposure to reits and utilities/infrastructure holdings in view of today's bank rate cut and the anticipated opposite U.S. rate increases. I am 71 and we rely on our investments for almost half our income. Currently fixed income + cash represents 44% of our investments while reits and utilities each 5%. I note in the Model portfolio utilities is 2.3% with no reits and the income portfolio 15% utilities & 6.5% reits.
It seems to me that the canadian bank rate will go up eventually but I've been wrong for years.
Currently our utilities/infrastructure holdings are BIP.UN, PPL, VSN, VNR, BEP.UN & CPX. Which would you recommend trimming, if at all.
You're general comments on our current allocation would also be welcome.
Thanks as always!

Q: Good Afternoon

Any reason for the recent weakness in Input? You mentioned the quarter looked strong but the share price has dropped from $3. Any change in your previous views going forward?
Thank You

Q: Amaya seems to be at its range ceiling. I'm thinking of selling for a 17% profit and buying Csu. Thoughts?

Q: I understand that Fission investors think that Denison's offer (1.26 DML shares 1 for FCU share) is mingy, but why are both companies' share prices declining? That is, shouldn't Denison be perceived as the smart operator, getting superior assets for cheap? (I'm guessing that Fission's poor price reflects market pessimism as concerns competing offers.)

Q: The ceo has been talking about a possible complementary acquisition to help fund their growth. What public company do you think could be of interest to them or would they look at a private company? Are cvd and mda and bos in the same space? I own Heroux and was wondering if Airbos of America is in the same space. Thanks.

Q: Hi
2 stocks - same problem . I have held full positions in Potash and Precision Drilling for over a decade . I get a decent dividend but I am ridiculously under water on both stocks ( although Potash has come back a bit ) .

Both are in my taxable account so at least I can record the huge loss on my taxes ... Maybe I should by Ag Growth and replace these two . Thoughts ? / Thanks

Q: Whatever happened to Legumex? I seem to recall a few years ago (2012?) that a few analysts were all over this stock as a growth company with unbounded potential. Ever since, there has been hardly a peep or a pea bean out of them. Why is it failing so miserably, given the (presumably) untethered growth in this sector -- i.e, pulses. I never owned it, and was always waiting for something to happen. Is it likely that anything will ever happen with this stock? Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
As you have stated... historically you told your colleagues never to let you buy BB because you could never figure this company out. Well I am in your camp...I have never bought BB for the same reason. Analysis and predictions have been all over the map which explains its roller coaster volatility. However as it is heading to a new annual low I am looking at it with interest...I know Chen has done a good job and the company still has assets and potential...I read about a possible Android type phone. Please give me your current assessment... Do you think this is a $15.00-$20.00 stock at best? Or do you think that in the end they will be sold? Or is the future of this company too unpredictable with the risk out weighing any potential gains?
Thanks for your consistent high quality service...
